Summary
Harden input handling in
plugins/eval.js(flagged by semgrep).Vulnerability
javascript.lang.security.detect-child-process.detect-child-processplugins/eval.js:9Description: Detected calls to child_process from a function argument
cmd. This could lead to a command injection if the input is user controllable. Try to avoid calls to child_process, and if it is needed ensure user input is correctly sanitized or sandboxed.Threat Model Context
This is a web service - vulnerabilities in request handlers are directly exploitable by remote attackers.
Changes
plugins/eval.jsBehavior Preservation
The change is scoped to 1 file on the vulnerable path; it only tightens handling of untrusted input and leaves valid inputs unaffected.
This patch removes an exploit primitive — a code pattern that, while not independently exploitable today, could be chained with other weaknesses by automated exploit-development tooling. Proactive removal of such primitives raises the bar against increasingly capable automated attack tools.
